Test Drive Meme #6
Welcome to Hadriel's test drive, and thank you again for your interest in the game! As always, our reserves page is here, and our applications page is here! Reserves open February 23rd, and apps are open March 1st.
Two quick points here as well:1. Any thread made in Hadriel's test drive will be accepted as the sole Action Log sample in the application.
2. All threads made in the test drive can be considered game canon, either through handwaving or through a shared mental experience while coming through the Door!
Test drives will be broken up into specific god mini-events, during which your characters can see how well they fare under the watchful eye of one of the gods. Choose wisely or just simply pick 'em all, and have fun!
F E A R
SCENARIO ONE: BLOBBED
[The Door brings in all that is chaotic and evil in the world. This may include you, may include the person next to you... and may include the monster behind you.
Watch out as you explore the streets of Hadriel, because you're not alone, and there's always something on the rooftops watching and waiting for the perfect opportunity to separate you from your group and tear you into pieces. This time, the Door has brought in several Blobs, from the similarly titled 1988 movie, The Blob for you meet.
These gelatinous creatures have no weak spots or brains that can be sliced or crushed to kill them. Instead, their only goal is to absorb and dissolve its prey so that it can grow larger. Think that its, er, blob-like form makes it easy to avoid? Think again- it moves faster than one might expect, as shown in its canon 'kill' video here (with a healthy cw warning for gore and 80's movie effects).]

SCENARIO TWO: WENDIGONE
[Hey, that snack you found? It might taste a little too familiar. At least you don't have time to worry about accidental cannibalism too much though, because you've now become host to a vengeful wendigo spirit! The transformation will be sped up for the purposes of this test drive, though you can post at whichever point in the change you desire. Want to tear people to shreds? Go for it. Want to try to clutch onto the last few pieces of your humanity? Be our guest!
On the flipside, as someone who is unaffected, you may be trying to arm yourself and take these wendigos head-on... or, you may be trying to figure out a way you can save them, which would involve somehow trapping them on Hope's altar. Think you can handle that?
This is a mini version of our Who What Where Wendigo event this month!]
H O P E
SCENARIO THREE: CARNATION DAY
[You know those moments in high school that everyone used to dread? Where everyone would spend a week or so with the opportunity to buy a carnation or two for someone they like, only for carnation day to come along and dash any hopes and dreams you had of getting a flower from that special someone?
Well, here's your chance to relive that day- but, you know, hopefully make it end a little happier.
In this prompt, some characters will emerge through the Door- or wake up, or just suddenly appear- with carnations clutched in their hands. These flowers can be any color of your choosing, and all have tags on them. They can be addressed to you or to someone else, and in that FROM category? Well, from your secret admirer, of course- or any other character who may or may not have sent it! Here's to hoping they're a good one!]
pyrrha nikos | rwby
( there was no telling where this was, and everything about it was unfamiliar. there was one thing pyrrha could count on though, and it was that blob approaching closer and closer in her direction was a threat. having never seen a creature of its kind before, she was taking a cautious stance, her shield positioned outward, holding her javelin tightly in her right hand. if she could just get the angle right and throw hard enough, it might just be able to pierce through...
the moment to act finally came, and pyrrha cast her weapon forward, watching as it hit right on the mark -- and disappeared with a disgusting -- ) Schlorp.
( her eyes widened, heart starting to beat quicker in her chest. was there no way to pierce it? her brow furrowed how with a small pulse of energy her weapon returned to her hand, ripping a new hole into the monster that didn't even seem to notice... and land perfectly, though covered in a unsavoury goo, back into her hand. ) What... is this thing made of?!
HOPE.
( had she fallen asleep or something without realizing? everything seemed to feel a bit... foggy for some reason. and when pyrrha looked down at her hands, there was a surprised -- ) Oh. When did... ( when she saw the small bouquet of flowers there. these were... carnations weren't they?
red and yellow... but who would send her flowers? looking around quickly to make sure no one was watching her too closely, she looked around for a tag -- apparently whatever she read there bringing a touch of red to her cheeks... forgetting how long she might have been staring at it. )
Fear
[Those harsh words come from a woman approaching from behind Pyrrha. On the surface, she doesn't appear to be armed, which is strange for anyone to be wandering even the city parts of Hadriel without a mean of defending oneself. Nothing save for the armor over her body, a hood partially obscuring her identity. Not that it matters -- she's pretty sure she has never met this girl before.
[She stops alongside Pyrrha, her hands clenched into fists. She cants her head at the indiscernible mass before them now, trying to study it.] Haven't seen one of these before. Must be new.
[A single glance casts out the corner of her eye to the girl. "And so are you," is what that look says.]
no subject
( she's studying this woman now, who appears relatively unsurprised by the creature -- and the events unfolding. that and the choice of words she used, has pyrrha guessing she's from here... or at least, been here longer than she has. which isn't saying much, since this appears to be her welcoming party... )
There has to be some way to stop it.
no subject
Well, stabbing at it certainly won't help. [She's seen what it did with that javelin.]
Perhaps a chemical reaction, or extreme temperature. Don't suppose you'd have anything like nitrogen up your sleeve, would you?
[Which is almost a joke, considering Pyrrha's attire. Rey herself could try flash burning, but she would have to get close enough.]
no subject
( she's looking around, wondering if there's any kind of abandoned plant or... industrial buildings in the area... dropping into a new world in these circumstances didn't exactly put her at an advantage, especially not knowing the terrain. ) If so, perhaps we could try to lead it there...
( she's scowling, not even sold on her own plan, and not keen on leading it to somewhere other people might be, especially... would it even follow them? pyrrha turns again to the other woman, hoping for some kind of good news... )
no subject
[There's also the armory, but if recent events has taught her anything, it's that conventional weaponry probably won't do much against these things. The store, however, is really the only place she can think of that's stocked of supplies that may prove to be useful.
[Just then, the blob creature seems to start gradually moving towards them. Rey retreats a few steps, her eyes darting to Pyrrha.]
Should probably run if we want to get there. [At least she looks like she has an idea as to where to find this place.]
